ReadySHARE Printer
You can connect a USB printer to the router’s USB port, and share it among Windows and
Mac computers on the network.
To set up ReadySHARE Printer:
1. Connect the USB printer to the router ’s USB port with a USB printer cable.
2. Install the USB printer driver software on each computer that will share the printer. If you do
not have the printer driver , contact the printer manufacturer to find and download the most
recent printer driver software.
3. On each computer that will share the printer , download the NETGEAR USB Control Center
utility.
The NETGEAR USB utility has a Mac version and a Windows version, which you can
access in two different ways:
• From the ReadySHARE Printer area of the page you access through this URL:
www.netgear
.com/readyshare
• From the ReadySHARE tab of the NETGEAR genie app. (See NETGEAR genie App
and Mobile genie App on page 18.)
Note: You have to install this utility before you can use the ReadySHARE
Printer feature. For the ReadySHARE Printer feature to work, this
utility has to be running in the background.
